museum day!!

Sometimes i try to forget that byu is in my backyard, but that means i forget that there are some really cool things about having it so close. my brother, sean, was visiting this week and insisted that we find the stuffed liger somewhere at byu... so off to the bean museum we went. ocean wanted to pet all of the zebras and lions because he recognized them from his books. he was very interested in all the birds and beatles as well. at 9 1/2 months it is difficult to tell whether or not it was that stimulating for him, but i'm sure his fascination will increase if we keep exposing him to great things like that (hey it sure beats all the shopping that i try to pass off as stimulating.) check it out here: bean museum

we also went to the Springville Museum of Art to check out the exhibits. ocean wasn't exactly trying to pet the art or anything, but i could tell it was a nice atmosphere for him. also we found out that the upcoming "family night" (which is the first monday of the month at 6:00 p.m.) this monday will have an artist who will play the japanese koto and lead the group in origami demonstrations for the kids. check it out: springville museum of art
